Nigeria farmers win 13 year battle with Shell

Four Nigerian farmers who accused Shell of pipeline leaks that destroyed their farms in the Delta have won their 13 year battle in a Dutch court.

An appeal court in the Netherlands ruled that the oil giant should pay compensation for leaks from a pipeline in the Niger Delta which covered an area equal to 60 football pitches.

Sky's Ivor Bennett takes a look at what this case means for the future of Shell and the Delta residents.
